Wolmer's Girls' School '16 (1911-1916)
Co-Producer: 'Caribbean Voices' BBC (1946-1956)
During his time as a producer on the BBC's landmark radio programme,
Henry Swanzy was credited with showcasing some of the 20th century's
biggest Caribbean literary voices. His collaborator, Gladys Lindo, however, has been forgotten.
Academic and writer Jen McDerra finds her hidden in the archives.
Seventy-five years ago, the revolutionary Caribbean Voices strand was established on the Overseas Service by trailblazing Jamaican broadcaster Una Marson. Every week for over a decade, it gave exposure on air to emerging writers from the region such as Sam Selvon, Derek Walcott and VS Naipaul - many for the first time.
